Volume 2 Hello, Xia Mi Chapter 162: Nibelung Hunting (I)
"The number you dialed is powered off. Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off..."
Having heard this cold, mechanical female voice countless times, Lu Mingfei silently put down her phone and curled up on the sofa. Her soft hair hung down to cover her eyes, and she looked as lonely as a little teddy bear abandoned in a corner.
There were lightning and thunder outside the window, and the wind was roaring. The heavy rain was hitting the glass violently, and the water was pouring down. However, the air conditioner was still on in the room because the autumn heat was extremely hot during the day. Lu Mingfei was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt and hot pants, and had completely forgotten how cold it was. Perhaps the only thing on her body that could be considered appropriate was the pair of white socks.
Chu Zihang has been missing for three whole days. Ever since Lu Mingfei came back from her visit that day, the entire team seemed to have inexplicably encountered the collective disappearance of Hinamizawa. Xia Mi's phone could not be reached, and it would prompt that it was out of service area. Finkel did not come back either, and Caesar and Nono could not be contacted either.
She didn't know what to do, and during this time she contacted Norma, but Norma could only give her a little information about the last contact with each member, and was unable to locate these people in the global network environment.
Only now did she understand how terrible it is to be alone. Everyone around you leaves without saying goodbye, and you are the only one left there. There is a constant stream of traffic and people coming and going around you, and everything is like a fast-forwarded movie. You want to find a place for yourself in it, but you find that there is no room for you at all.
If time goes back a few years, the braided girl from Shilan Middle School probably wouldn't care about this kind of thing. At that time, she was already muddleheaded and shameless. She was like a ghost member in the literature club. It didn't matter whether she was there or not, it would just be one less person to be ordered around and smashed. Once you get used to that kind of loneliness, of course you won't be afraid of loneliness.
But now it's different. She has gradually grown into a girl that many people like. She has never lacked invitations to dinner and bouquets in front of her dormitory door. She is used to having so many people around her. The so-called loneliness has long become a thing of the past that she will never look back on. But in the past two days, it has quietly come to her door again, cold and scary. No matter how many times you call that number, you will never hear that voice that doesn't fluctuate, but makes you feel at ease.
"Where are you..."
The air conditioner was whirring in the empty suite, accompanied by the girl's low sobbing. She really hoped that someone would stand in front of her at this time, no matter who it was.
If I had known earlier, I should not have separated from him. If I had known earlier, I should have stuck to him all the time, followed him wherever he went. If I had known earlier, I should not have been so coy and overthinking, I should have just walked up to him and asked him if he could be . If I had known earlier...
It was useless to know anything now. She had lost him. They were not ordinary people, and this situation might mean the tragedy of never finding him again.
Someone wiped Lu Mingfei's eyes, very gently, as if afraid of hurting her. She looked up blankly and saw a Gothic loli with twin ponytails kneeling on the sofa trying to get closer to her, holding a pure white towel in her hand.
She was stunned. They hadn't seen each other for half a year. When she wanted someone to appear in front of her, Lu Mingze arrived quietly.
"Why are you crying? A beautiful girl's tears are a secret weapon and will not be used easily. No matter how much you really want to cry, you have to find a man who likes you, right? Just like Chu Zihang, punch him on the chest with your little fist and say you are bad, you are bad, you hurt me so much last night, and then be a little more tearful, you can control him in a minute, you can choose Chanel or Hermes, Master Chu has plenty of money." Lu Mingze still smiled in that frivolous way.
Lu Mingfei sniffed and stared at Lu Mingze blankly. She had always thought that after being treated so roughly, this mysterious Pokémon would never want to see her again. But at this moment, Lu Mingze was still the same as before, and did not mention what happened under the Yangtze River at all, as if those things had never happened and could not affect the relationship between the elder sister and the younger sister.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Lu Mingze wiped the tears from the corners of Lu Mingfei's eyes and stuffed the handkerchief into her hand. "Next time you want to cry, just slap this on your face and wipe it away vigorously."
Lu Mingfei thought to herself, what kind of logic is this? When a person is really sad, can it be solved by being ruthless? But she still silently clenched her handkerchief and whispered "hmm" in response, as obedient as a kitten.
"Don't you want to say something?" Lu Mingze tilted his head back and rested it on Lu Mingfei's thigh, and the two looked into each other's eyes.
"Thanks……"
"What else?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lu Mingfei still chose those three words, "I'm sorry."
Yes, I'm sorry. Even though Lu Mingfei knew that Lu Mingze was trying to trick her into slaying the dragon and killing her former friend, Lu Mingze didn't treat her badly. He appeared when she was most sad. It was also Lu Mingze who gave her the words and spirits, and gave her guidance as much as possible along the way. There is no free lunch in this world, and it is reasonable for Lu Mingze to charge a little bit of what he wants.
"You don't need to apologize to me. There's nothing to apologize for. I have to admit that my goal is to hope that you can deal with all the Dragon Kings as much as possible. I thought a naive girl like you would be easy to deceive, but you realized it the first time." Lu Mingze bared his teeth, with a light like clear water flowing in his eyes. "So I told you long ago that I'm a demon. If you don't know, I will keep lying. Now that you know, sit down and have a good talk and then try again."
"Do you have a grudge against the Dragon King?" Lu Mingfei was a little curious.
"It's not a deep hatred, I just want to get their dragon bones." Lu Mingze said, "Just like what is described in European fairy tales, a dragon's blood can make a hero invulnerable to swords and guns, scales can be used to make an indestructible shield, and claws can be made into sharp swords by grinding. The dragon king is full of treasures, and the most precious one is the dragon bone cross. You have seen Norton devour Constantine with your own eyes, and Samson also said that he ate Norton's dragon bones. In fact, they are all for the dragon bone cross, which stores the power of every supreme dragon king, and it will not dissipate even if the dragon king dies."
"Are you a dragon?"
"A pure-blooded dragon." Lu Mingze smiled, held Lu Mingfei's face with his hands and pulled her closer, "But don't worry, I'm on your side. You can use this as a mutual benefit. I can do anything in dreams, but I can't easily interfere with reality. If you meet the Dragon King, I can help you, but the condition is that after you win, you have to hand over the Dragon Bone Cross to me at any cost."
"You can't even interfere with reality, so how can you want things in reality?" Lu Mingfei thought this was really a fantasy.
"Don't worry about that. Someone will come to receive the goods ." Lu Mingze said, "Consider it now? I think this is a good proposal for both of us."
"I'll think about it seriously, but can you tell me where Chu Zihang is first?"
"A girl in love is really hopeless." Lu Mingze sighed helplessly, "You are here talking to her about career, but she said wait a minute, I need to find my boyfriend first."
"He's not my boyfriend!" Lu Mingfei subconsciously said loudly when she mentioned this, as if she wanted to prove her innocence, "I'm just worried about him!"
"Then can you admit that you don't want him to be your boyfriend? Come on, sister Mingfei, as your younger sister, how can I not know what you are thinking? Just now I was thinking, if I had known it would be like this, I would have pushed him down, confessed to him, and said to Chu Zihang, "Will you be with me?" And now you turn around and deny it?" Lu Mingze was shy like a wave, and she imitated the mentality of a shy girl with a pinched voice. Lu Mingfei wanted to take off her skirt and spank her hard so that she would know what the authority of an older sister is.
"Don't worry." Lu Mingze had enough of the nonsense and finally returned to seriousness. "Chu Zihang is still alive, and everyone in your two teams is still alive, but I suddenly don't want to discuss career issues with you at this moment. You mentioned love to me, so I also want to gossip. Which beautiful girl has not fallen in love at some point? Do the things you just thought of still count?"
"What do you mean?" Lu Mingfei suddenly became alert.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have confessed to him first." Lu Mingze said, "To be honest, I am very concerned about your lifelong event, and you must choose a good brother-in-law. If you must choose Chu Zihang, it's not impossible. At least this guy really cares about girls, and he is a rich second-generation with a decent pedigree. It's just that he may lack the glands to secrete hormones, so he may not understand even if you take off all your clothes and throw yourself into his arms."
Lu Mingze leaned close to Lu Mingfei's ear with a mysterious look on his face, "I'll tell you in secret, this guy is actually quite dishonest. He once liked Xia Mi for a moment when she was young, but luckily Xia Mi gave up later, otherwise you wouldn't have had much of a chance. Obviously, dragging it on like this is not a good thing, who knows if Xia Mi will suddenly come to her senses one day, turn around and use her skills to knock Chu Zihang down in three seconds. In order to avoid this from happening, I think it's better for us to take the initiative. The brave little pig will rush forward, knock Chu Zihang down, pick him up and run away."
"You want me to confess to him?" Lu Mingfei finally understood and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, absolutely not. That guy is a fool. If I get rejected, where will I put my face? Should I find a hole in the ground and bury myself? I won't even have any friends!"
"But have you ever thought about what would happen if you succeed?" Lu Mingze tempted softly, like a devil deceiving an ignorant girl to offer herself as a sacrifice, "When you return to Kassel College, you can hug his neck and say loudly that from today on, this man is mine! You will be so domineering, and the whole world will salute the expressionless Lionheart President for finally tying the knot with the S-level beauty. Many people will secretly wipe their tears in the shadows behind him. The girls will have to say goodbye to Chu Zihang, and the boys will be heartbroken and say that they will never meet a good girl like Mingfei again in their lives. How happy and majestic would you be at that moment? Go back to your Shilan Middle School and have another class reunion. This time, sit on Chu Zihang's lap and ask him to feed you. Chen Wenwen, Su Xiaoqiang, and Liu Miaomiao will all be so jealous that they will grit their teeth!"
"Don't always think about the good things, think carefully about the consequences of failure!" Lu Mingfei yelled.
"Don't keep thinking about retreating, you have to look forward!" Lu Mingze also imitated Lu Mingfei 's tone of advice, "You know he's a blockhead. How could he know if he didn't run up and kick Yaye so hard that her skin was bald? Teacher Xia has taught you so many times, think about why Chu Zihang liked her in the past! If you keep wasting time, next time you will watch Chu Zihang carry Xia Mi on his back and walk down the red carpet, and you can only applaud like an idiot with a stiff expression!"
Lu Mingfei stopped talking, probably because the scene described by Lu Mingze had stimulated a sensitive nerve. She had a vague feeling that Xia Mi was indeed very good to her, but she also cared about Chu Zihang, far more than the relationship between ordinary friends of the opposite sex. Although Xia Mi once generously said that she liked Chu Zihang and later gave up, Lu Mingfei was not stupid. After hearing such words, she would of course care and notice all the small details that she had never noticed before.
At this moment, Chu Zihang couldn't find anyone, and Xia Mi couldn't find anyone either. In the worst case scenario, the two of them might be caught together and locked in the same small dark room? If the cute girl accidentally said "I'm afraid of the dark", Chu Zihang would probably snap his fingers to let Jun Yan light her up, and the cute girl wouldn't snuggle in his arms and say "Brother, you are so nice"? With Xia Mi's temper, she might even dare to turn her cheek over and forcefully kiss her, saying "Brother, if we can escape, I will marry you!"
An unprecedented sense of crisis came from all directions like needles. Lu Mingfei was sneezing because of the cold, and Lu Mingze silently covered his face to avoid being sprayed.
This won't work, absolutely not! Since Chu Zihang is still alive and kicking, then of course Lu Mingfei should go and save the hero! The first thing she should do when they meet is to strip her naked to check if she is a virgin. If she is fine, then she will just push her down and tell her that she is going to marry him today. If she dares to say no, don't even think about touching the ground with your toes when you wake up tomorrow!
Lu Mingfei stood up with a bang, full of vigor and spirit. After making up her mind, the lonely girl could instantly burst into fighting spirit. Lu Mingze was lying comfortably, but he was caught off guard and turned around and landed on his face. This very undignified posture is usually called "dog chewing mud".
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Lu Mingfei came to her senses and hurried to rescue her dear sister, but Lu Mingze pushed her away with a dark face and got up by himself.
"I almost understand why those parents with traditional ideas don't want to have daughters. Is it true that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled? Am I 10% as important as Chu Zihang in your heart?" Lu Mingze rubbed his aching nose.
"Equally important! I'm not the kind of person who forgets friends for the sake of a beautiful woman!" Lu Mingfei swore with a righteous look on his face and clenched his fist.
"I don't believe you, girl. You should prove yourself with actual actions. Don't be so full of fighting spirit now, like a rocket launching. When you really see Chu Zihang, you become cowardly again. You clamp your legs together, hook your fingertips together, take small steps and approach him shyly and say, "Senior brother, are you okay? Senior brother, are you okay? Senior brother, let me let you eat my pussy?" Lu Mingze made a face and stuck out his tongue at Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei angrily slapped her on the head, "Why don't you learn anything else at such a young age? How come you've learned to speak dirty words!"
"Just because you wear yellow glasses, everything you see is yellow. I'm talking seriously here, but you have a head full of frivolous thoughts!" Lu Mingze said with disdain, "Let's go, my sister who is obsessed with beauty is not worthy of my care!"
